Best fighter of the past 15 years Jones or Mayweather?

[hugh grant]

Titles from middleweight to heavyweight. Unified the living dog #$%& out of the light heavyweight division. Dropped back down from Heavy and STILL didn't lose until he was 35.

Yes i suppose RJJ was a bit more exciting at times as well wasnt he? So i go with RJJ for now. BUt i noticed PBF always says he is better than SRR and Ali. PBF never mentiones RJJ as if he doesnt rate him at all.

I really would like to know who was better. When RJJ was around they said he was better than SRR and ALi. But then he lost some and got ko'ed and now he is the forgotten man. We thought RJJ was supposed to be super talented and there wouldnt be anyone like RJJ for ages, and then next day PBF comes along. How is that?
I dont know who is better is what im trying to say! But all i can say is that noone came really close to beat RJJ did they, until he came down from heavyweight?

Jones Jr. was a better fighter you can make an argument that both Floyd and Roy ducked some people but Jones had what Floyd has and more, minus the chin but as mentioned Roy was 35 and had came down in weight. EDIT: i remember roys used to take some great shots, after heavyweight he couldn't handle the big punchs.

The floyd fans say floyd fights at differnt division if so he should have fought Hatton at 140 gotten a better win at 140 then his Arturo Gatti win at 140.

Prime for Prime, imo, Jones was more exciting. But later in Jones career he wasn't as exciting cause he did what floyd usally does and just box, but Jones at least was attacking more then what floyd usually does.

That because Roy is still alive and well Robinson went up so many weight classes that even now a catch weight for floyd v. roy wouldn't be out of the question, though roy would be weight drained older, but it is what it is, it can happen.

Who was the best?

Until Floyd gets knocked out twice back to back it's Mayweather over Jones for me. Floyd stood up to pressure and dealt with it better than Jones. That makes Floyd the better man as far as I'm concerned. Pressure.

There's no way Floyd would lose to a tactically inferior fighter like Antonio Tarver. No ****ing way.

Tarver just had his number you know it happens in boxing.

Mayweather already lost to Castillo unofficially and roy didn't till he was disqualified beating griffen worse then mayweather did to castillo in the rematch.

Theres been a lot of great fighters that were great before there first lose or ko.

Jones was the most impressive boxer I've ever seen. He was a level above even Floyd in his prime, and just as consistent as well. Floyd simply has yet to age like Jones did, so we don't now how that will turn out yet.

Even at thirty five?

I have to go with PBFM just based on competition. Diego & Hatton were undefeated & in their prime when they got KOd by PBFM. But if RJ KOs Tito & then somehow gets Calzaghe (Joe never want to hear RJs name)to step in the ring & beats him. I will go with RJ.

Sorry, but Bernard Hopkins and an undefeated in 42 fight James Toney >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Corrales and Hatton.

Interesting question...

I guess I would have to go with Jones, although he was never may favorite by any means. But truth is truth.
